Headline: New Zealand top of mum stakes. The papers headline said this 'A world survey shows we are the best country in the world to have a baby'. Not exactly - we were 6th. Who writes this stuff?? Why were we sixth. Because our child poverty level is 25% when it should be 10%. Who works out this stuff?? Poverty in NZ ??

Meetings: Attended the SeniorNet N Z AGM during the week. Again interesting to mingle with those from other clubs from around the country. Will be going to a Rotary meeting on Sunday at Palmerston North.

Rugby:Chiefs scraped in 10-7 and will have a home semi-final.
